Purposes of the processing and the source of the data

The aim of the present website is to offer the user directory and information services within the meaning of European Directive 2002/58/EC dated 12 July 2002 (Directive concerning privacy and electronic communications).

The accessible database on the present site is divided into two categories:

Private individuals: Only the directory data are processed by KAPITOL S.A.

The latter are obliged to communicate the data of their subscribers to the official directories as stipulated by European Directives 2002/58/EC dated 12 July 2002 and 2002/22/EC dated 7 March 2002 and by Article 45, §2 of the Belgian Act dated 13 June 2005 concerning electronic communication.

Businesses: This category consists of the legal and natural persons carrying out their activities as independent parties.

Classification of businesses by sector is also offered. The data are provided either by the persons themselves or originate from the telephone service providers, KAPITOL S.A.’s suppliers or public sources.
